Charity Quilts

Every year Guilds and Bees make charity quilts to be displayed at QuiltCon and then they donate them to a local charity either for use, display or as a fundraiser. These are often stunningly inventive pieces.
A theme is set to give a focus and some unity to the display. This year it was black and white and words.

I went on a special exhibit tour with Mary Fons which included a description of A Day in the Life of a Quilter
